Technical Indicators and Moving Averages
From a technical standpoint, JHS Svendgaard Retail Ventures is trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages. This positioning typically reflects a sustained downward trend over multiple time horizons. The stock’s current price of Rs.27.66 is significantly below its 52-week high of Rs.48.17, highlighting the extent of the decline over the past year.
Long-Term Performance and Financial Metrics
Over the last 12 months, the stock has generated a return of -28.34%, contrasting with the Sensex’s positive return of 6.84% during the same period. This divergence underscores the stock’s relative underperformance within the broader market context. The company’s financial indicators reveal challenges that have contributed to this trend.
Operating profits have shown a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -154.88% over the past five years, indicating a contraction in core earnings capacity. Additionally, the company’s ability to service debt is constrained, with a Debt to EBITDA ratio of -1.00 times. This metric suggests that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation are insufficient relative to debt levels, which may affect financial flexibility.
JHS Svendgaard Retail Ventures has also reported losses, resulting in a negative return on capital employed (ROCE). The negative EBITDA further signals that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation are below zero, which is a factor contributing to the stock’s risk profile.
Recent Quarterly Results and Income Composition
The company’s latest quarterly results showed flat performance, with non-operating income constituting 350.00% of profit before tax (PBT). This indicates that a significant portion of the company’s earnings in the quarter derived from sources outside its core business operations, which may not be sustainable in the long term.
Shareholding Pattern and Market Capitalisation
Majority shareholding in JHS Svendgaard Retail Ventures is held by non-institutional investors. The market capitalisation grade for the company is rated at 4, reflecting its size relative to other listed entities. The stock’s trading risk is elevated compared to its historical average valuations, which is consistent with the observed price volatility and financial metrics.

Contextualising the Stock’s Performance
JHS Svendgaard Retail Ventures’ performance over the past year and longer term has been below par when compared with the BSE500 index across multiple time frames, including the last three years, one year, and three months. This persistent underperformance is reflected in the stock’s current valuation and price levels.
While the broader market, as represented by the Sensex, has shown resilience and upward momentum, JHS Svendgaard Retail Ventures has faced headwinds that have kept its share price under pressure. The stock’s decline to Rs.27.66 marks a significant milestone, representing both a 52-week and all-time low, underscoring the challenges faced by the company in recent periods.
Summary
In summary, JHS Svendgaard Retail Ventures’ stock has reached a new low point at Rs.27.66 amid a volatile trading day and a backdrop of subdued financial performance. The stock’s position below all major moving averages, combined with negative earnings indicators and a challenging debt profile, has contributed to its current valuation. Despite the broader market’s positive trajectory, the company’s shares have not mirrored this trend, reflecting sector-specific and company-specific factors influencing investor sentiment and trading activity.
